Looking and Image, Subject and Object

This obsession takes the form of looking at images of a person. I am interested in the meaning of the word 'looking' and the word 'image' in the context of this project. The image replaces the real person as the real person is unavailable. By looking at image after image of this person I am able to bring to it my own interpretation through desire, fantasy and imagination. The image becomes the real in my imagination. The subject (person) becomes an image and the image can become an object (the photograph)
